Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- NCT05498428RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab for advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations
This Phase 2 study tests amivantamab (an antibody medicine) in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer when standard curative treatments aren’t possible.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05957536RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for HER2-positive advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests D3L-001 alone in people with HER2-positive advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly looking to see how the drug works and how safe it is in this group.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06060613RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Engineered immune cells for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called OBX-115, which uses a patient's own immune cells that are modified in a lab to better fight cancer. It is for people with advanced melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06051695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cell therapy for mesothelin-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) designed to target cancer cells that have a protein called mesothelin but have lost a marker that lets them hide from the immune system. It's for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06115642Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Study of HLX43 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called HLX43 for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to find safe dosing and understand how the drug works in the body.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06521554RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NVL-330 for HER2-altered advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug called NVL-330 for people with advanced NSCLC whose tumors have a specific change in the HER2 gene. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or slow the growth of the cancer.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04683250RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RET-targeting drug study for advanced cancers with RET changes
This trial tests an “RET-inhibitor” medicine (TAS0953/HM06) for advanced solid tumors that have RET gene changes. It may help shrink tumors by blocking cancer growth signals from the RET gene.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05384626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an ALK-targeted drug for ALK-positive lung cancer
This early-stage study tests neladalkib (NVL-655), a medicine designed to attack ALK-positive cancer. It may help people with advanced ALK-mutated or ALK-rearranged solid tumors, especially ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06234098RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AT-1965 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can shrink tumors.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06736379RecruitingPhase 1
Injected immune therapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests an experimental treatment that is injected directly into the tumor to stimulate your immune system to fight the cancer. It is for people with head and neck cancer who have not been helped by prior treatments or who are scheduled for surgery.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06128551RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing two targeted drugs for KRAS G12C advanced cancer
This study tests two oral medicines (elironrasib and daraxonrasib) given alone or together to see if they can shrink tumors or slow down cancer growth in people with advanced solid tumors that have a KRAS G12C mutation. It is for people who have already tried other treatments.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07213791RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for FAP-positive cancers
This trial tests a new drug (LY4337713) for cancers that have a specific protein called FAP on their surface. It may be an option for people whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.

What taking part in a solid tumor study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
